Ok, Suzy/Carmen (we are working on a real Sybil thing here) has got me looking at all of this loose jiggly skin I have hanging all over me and I have decided that some strength training is in order. I throw 8 - 50 lb feed bags every week (from the pallet to the cart, from the cart to the truck, from the truck to the feed shed then lifting and dumping them into the storage barrels) and I kinda thought my normal activities ought to be enough to tighten up my body after a large weight loss, but it's not. So I bought a pair of 10 lb dumb bells and I started working out with them yesterday. I have found hundreds of arm workouts on you tube, so that is not really an issue. My question for you weight lifting guru's out there are what are the best non equipment ab and core workouts that can be modified for a person who has had a full midsection (bellybutton to pubic bone) incision and who has a colostomy (basically a man-made hernia) two inches from my bellybutton on the left. I need to strengthen those muscles but I am scared to death that I am going to tear something in that area, I have tried sit-ups but the parastomal hernia I have bulges alarmingly when I do. I had the surgery 6 years ago and the incision healed nicely, but when I do heavy lifting, it burns a bit, probably scar-tissue issues on the inside. I know I can't be the only person with these types of battle scars, I could sure use some input! Thanks guys!
